Okay who else is starving?!?!?

in October 2012 Moms

I am 21 weeks today and for the past two weeks, I need to eat something every two hours. It not like I need a snack, its like I could eat a full course meal!! LOL!  I do my best to make sure I have lots of healthy stuff in the house to satisfy this hunger, but its crazy! I don't remember ever reading about this during the second trimester.

 Going for my Anatomy Ultrasound tomorrow, then hubby and I are going to register. I highly recommend Baby Bargains, it was such a great help.

 Sorry for the all over the place post, I am 1) ready to have my snack again and 2) been studying all day for the Nursing Boards so I am a little punch drunk! LOL

 

thanks for listening!

    Glad I am not alone! I have just about ran out of my fruits and veggies so its time for a grocery store run. I do have chocolate chip cookies though... hmmmm and a nice cold glass of milk...

    I have a weird appetite this pregnancy. Some days I am a bottomless pit, but most days I have to force myself to eat 3 meals. It's weird.

    Yes!  I ate a very decent lunch not that long ago and I'm going to help myself to a mid-afternoon snack now!

    I feel the same way!  I'm just about to eat some red grapes and vanilla yogurt.  It always makes my little guy have a dance party, so I'm looking forward to it!  Happy snacking!

    Meee!!!  I have GOT to work on the healthy snacks though.  I'm not one of those people to snack on carrot sticks, but if I don't start, I'm going to be really upset once LO is born when I realize how huge I got.  I love afternoon and bed time snacks though b/c it makes for a very wiggly baby!

    Thanks Test date is July 3rd! I start work at the VA on June 18 so I am focusing on what I need to go  over content-wise over the next two weeks.  Being pregnant is helpful with the OB review. 

    Okay back to the books!

    Me too!! I swear I'm a bottomless pit. I'm hungry 20 minutes after just stuffing myself. I've got to work harder at healthy snacks because right now all I was is carbs :-(

    Same here, but it's about 50/50.  Ever since the nausea went away in second tri, I alternate between starving one day and having no appetite the next.  We really need to go grocery shopping because all of my healthy snacks are gone and today is a hungry hungry hippo day. 

    Right now I'm eating some hummus and pretzel chips, but what I've been craving for four days is a Quarter Pounder with Cheese Embarrassed

    I'm joining your ladies camp! Some days I'm starving and others I have to force the three meals!

    Oh My gosh! Me too!! I am like some of the other moms here, starving constantly one day and the next I have to force myself to eat or feel content on smaller (or my non-pg portions).  I feel like my snacking has gotten out of control! No cravings really, but if its "crap" food and it is in the house I will eat it and eat it all.  It's so gross.  But I try to be super conscious about what I am eating, sometimes it doesn't work out.  But I have found that if I wait until I am a little hungry, it turns into a lot hungry and fast.  So I try to set myself up to eat healthily every 2(ish) hours so I don't cave and go hog wild.

     It also helps if you really try to eat the appropriate amount of fruits and veggies each day.  I find that the more I think about how many f&v I am supposed to be eating I gravitate towards them. I feel like for my health and the babies health I "have" to eat them so I tend to pick them up first. 2-4 for fruits & 5-8 for veggies.
